Well, you pays your money and you takes your choice.

I have a "homemade" one. A black light bulb mounted in a small plastic tackle box with holes drilled in the sides, a couple of muffin fans mounted outside to circulate air. Used it to destink used cars. Put it in the car, lit it up, closed all windows and doors. Left it a day or two...
